PHo, thanks for the Instagram message. Not sure why you can't see our Wednesday morning response to you email the night before, or our follow up on Thursday (yesterday). Let me know here if you also aren't seeing our Instagram messages.
Shane from Wiser here. I don't handle the emails anymore, but I've checked our inbox and it appears we are up to date on our responses. Can you two DM me your emails here?
PHo, I see a return email that I think might be yours via a Hotmail address. We received it on Tuesday, responded Wednesday...
You're looking at two different accessories in those photos.
1) Quick-Clip (black piece in the photo on the right). This clips into the grove cut into the Quick-StiX and has a QD picatinny clamp so you can attach to your gun. It also attaches to the 3rd leg.
2) The Third Leg. This is another...
RSC12,
I think I just responded to your email you had sent me the other day. But, in case this is someone else. There are two accessories currently. Third Leg (tripod) and Quick-Clip (Bipod and used with the Third Leg).
I was waiting for Ryan to publish his Quick-StiX review before launching...
That is awesome! Congratulations to your daughter and you! It's pretty dang cool having even a very small part in a first timer's success; I'm glad you like the Quick-StiX and that they were able to aid in your daughters success!

Not that I am aware of. I've tried to followed up with him a few times, but have not heard anything. It is the middle of hunting season, so maybe we'll hear something this winter.
I have not yet, actually. I threw my 15lb rifle on there and figured that would put it through it's paces the best, haha. I'm in the middle of redesigning the 3rd leg system so it will all fold together nicely like a normal tripod would... Hunting season has slowed my progress on this, however. :p
Randy,
That's exactly how I used them to take my bull. You get on those steep canyon walls and there is no way to get prone, and often you can't find a good enough bench to make a prone shot happen.
Gotta be honest, I never thought these would be used in a treestand, lol. That's awesome though! Very creative use. And congrats on your animals! I'm glad the Quick-StiX helped make it happen!
Alright,
I got to harvest an animal with the help of the Quick-StiX (finally)!
~730yds, used them as a rear support while sitting cross legged behind a burn down.
Also, I'm glad you like them!
Another accessory to follow will be a "Third Leg" Effectively making a Tripod. So far, this has been surprisingly effective in testing.
I actually just released a teaser photo on my Facebook page this morning: https://www.facebook.com/WiserPrecision/photos/a.385407588636461/661443831032834/?type=3&theater
I think it's pretty obvious from the photo; but spelling it out, there's a fordable clip which connect to your rifle...
That's awesome! If you have the opportunity to use them on your Buffalo hunt, please take a picture with them! I would love to see them used on a special hunt like that!
Thanks! I'm excited so many people are interested in these. Any squeaking should require some effort to produce (as mentioned by willfrye027). I do fit test these before shipping, but, it is totally possible that I made a mistake and sent huntsman22 with a pair that was too tight. Regardless...
Ya beat me to it! haha. That's great! Excellent critical feedback, by the way! I agree with you on the spacing, I wish I could have brought them closer together, but the thick trekking pole handles do get in the way. On top of that, some of the accessories I've been testing (they clip to the...
Shipping options have been updated recently, you can actually select USPS First Class (~half the price and half as fast as Priority). First Class does have a weight threshold though, so only small items can be shipped via that service.
Thanks!
Please let me know what you think of them once you have them in hand! Personally, I just leave my Bipod at home now. Where I hunt makes me pretty weight conscience, and the terrain I hunt in rarely allows a short bipod to even work at all.
Thanks! I'm trying really hard to be the first one to take an animal with them this year, lol. But my WA bear season so far has been pretty booked with other obligations, so I suspect someone else will beat me to it.
